friends for several days.

Mr and Mrs. Fred CALKINS and daughter of this city were the guests of
friends at Laurens Sunday.

Charles DUHIGG, P.V. NOLAN, and F.L. WILTSE were business visitors at Swea
City the last of the week.

Mrs. Howard JOHNSON and children returned from Cedar Falls Friday after a
three weeks visit with relatives.

Mrs. M. FLEMING returned from Livermore Friday after a few days visit at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. M.P. HIGGINS.

Drs. and Mrs. Robert JOYNT and baby of LeMars and Dr. Bert JOYNT of Waterloo
arrived in Emmetsburg Saturday for a short visit at the M. JOYNT home. Miss
Laura JOYNT, who has been attending summer school at Cedar Falls,
accompanied them to this city. They autoed to this place in Robert's fine
new Cole Eight auto.

Miss Theresa MALONEY of Des Moines is visiting the Misses DUHIGG of
Emmetsburg.

Misses Cora RICHARDSON and Lillian ILLINGWORTH spent Sunday with friends at
the lakes.

J.J. LAWLER of Dickens has been elected cashier of the Farmers Savings bank
at Langdon.

Miss Esther WALDRON of Ayrshire spent the first of the week with relatives
at Emmetsburg.

Misses Agnes and Kittie McCARTY left for LeMars Tuesday to visit their
sister, Mrs. O.O. WILLIAMS.

Mr. and Mrs. Wallace SIMPSON of Whittemore visited the latter's father, Geo
SEELEY, in Emmetsburg Sunday.

Miss Laura ILLINGWORTH left for Peoria, Illinois, Sunday to visit Mr. and
Mrs. Arthur GIBSON for a couple of weeks.

Dell MORRISON returned from Rochester, Minnesota, Tuesday. He was in the
hospital at that place for a couple of weeks.

Ed McNALLY and daughter, Miss Vera, autoed to Wallingford Monday. Mr.
McNALLY had business interests at that place.

Miss Anna REIDY of Winthrop, Iowa, who was a guest of the Misses DUGIGG of
this city for several days, returned home Saturday.

Romaine MARTINSON left for Cherokee Tuesday. Company M of that place will
soon leave for Deming, New  Mexico. Mr. MARTINSON has been on recruiting
duty for several weeks. He says he has 41 recruits to his credit all but two
passing their examination.

Mrs. Thomas HIGGINS and sister, Miss Katherine DUNGAN, returned from Chicago
the middle of the week. They were called to that place by the death of their
brother. Misses Nellie and Julia DUNGAN, who accompanied the body to Joplin,
Missouri, for burial, returned to Emmetsburg Monday.

Mr and Mrs. J.W. ELLIS of Centerville are visiting Mr. and Mrs. George
BENSON, who live near Hoprig. Mrs. BENSON is their daughter. Mr. ELLIS lost
an auto tire a couple of weeks ago and advertised in the Democrat. The
finder promptly mailed him a letter to Centerville and he called at the
Democrat office yesterday to pay his advertising bill. It is needless to say
that the use of printer's ink brings prompt returns.

The Spencer Chautauqua did not pay out this year. The Commercial club will
back the enterprise next year.

J.A. ROTHERMEL and son were down from Graettinger the first of the week.
They were accompanied by A.M. ROTHERMEL of Elgin, Illinois.

Father FARRELLY has been at St. Paul during the past week visiting one of
his sisters who resides in that city. He favors her with a call every
summer.

Albert JACOBSON of Graettinger is, we understand, attending the officers'
training camp at Fort Snelling and the reports are that he is making good.

We understand that W.W. FROST has sold his fine farm in Lost Island
township. He received $135.00 per acre for it. He has been tiling it and
building on it.

The Democrat is pleased to learn that Mrs. Sarah E. McDONNELL, who was very
ill at a hospital in Peoria, Illinois, for some time, is about again as
hearty as usual. Mrs. Dr. HESSION, who was also in the hospital, is able to
attend to her household duties. The local friends of both will learn with
satisfaction of their restoration to health.

Yesterday Thomas KIRBY was able to climb the high staircase leading to the
Democrat office. He called to pay his subscription. Last winter we did not
think that he would ever be able to come down town. Although his heart is
still weak, he is able to move about some every day. Mrs. KIRBY is feeling
some better but she is not making any permanent improvement.

Miss Emroy PARKS of Detroit, Mich., who was the pianist in the Round
orchestra at the Chautauqua, is a cousin of W.H. PARKS of this city. She
called on Mr. and Mrs. PARKS while in town. It is needless to say that,
though surprised to learn that she was such a capable musician, they were
very glad to meet and entertain her. She has in the past, played with the
SALESBURY family at lyceum entertainment.

Dr. and Mrs. T.J. HESSION of Graettinger and their daughter-in-law, Mrs.
Joseph HESSION of Waterloo, were in Emmetsburg yesterday. The Doctor and his
daughter-in-law will go to Fort Snelling this week to visit Joe before his
departure for some other military camp. He will finish his course in
training on August 11. He is six feet, two inches high and weighs 180
pounds. If successful in passing, which is more than likely, he will make a
fine looking officer.

from hs nephew, C.E. NEWTON of Bartonville, Oklahoma.

Steve and John CSUKKER and Joseph and Anthony WEINZEFF of the sout part of
the county were in Emmetsburg Monday evening. Three of them had been
selected for service in the U.S. Army and were anxious to see the list that
the Democrat had printed.

Mrs. Nicholas STEIL, Sr. left for Dubuque Friday to visit her son, Joseph.
>From there she will go to Lancaster and Fennimore, Wisconsin to see her
brothers. She will be absent for a couple of months. She intends spending
the winter with her sons in Oklahoma.

Mr. SIBREL of the Graettinger neighborhood was in Emmetsburg Monday. He was
accompanied by his brother, O.W. SIBREL of Washington, Illinois who is
visiting him.

Monday we enjoyed a call from G.A. ARNOLD of Lincoln, Nebraska, who is
visiting G.A. FROST of Cylinder. Mr. ARNOLD spent several months in the U.S.
army on the border last fall. He was stationed at Nogales, Arizona. He
informs our reporter that soldiers who feigned fatigue and dropped out of
the ranks when on long hikes were sent to the U.S. penitentiary at Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas. Punishment for offenses of this kind is severe.

Dr. GUTHRIE of Ringsted Enlists.
Dr. GUTHRIE returned yesterday morning from Des Moines where he successfully
passed the examination for entrance into the U.S. army as a surgeon and he
is now one of the Uncle Sam's boys. He does not expect to leave Ringsted for
a couple of months yet but will be called into service at the same time the
conscripted army is.--Dispatch.
